Personal
Photography has always had something to do with power. The exercise and abuse of power. I am convinced that we should therefore handle it with care. My personal work aims to find out more about this side of photography.
Editorial
Because I have to eat. But also because I read Kerouac when I was younger and it seemed like the moment had meaning. Simply taking pictures — even though I should know better — chasing a distant, over-aestheticized dream.
About
I studied photography at Burg Giebichenstein in Halle and at the Folkwang in Essen. In Tokyo, I worked as an assistant for Muga Miyahara. Since then I have been fascinated by the dichotomy of photography: the reflective contemplation of the medium and the visual excess of the moment. I am torn between the two and cannot resolve this duality. That’s why I am working in the artistic and applied fields.
